10 Al Qaeda Militants Killed in Yemen

At least 10 al Qaeda militants were killed by a drone strike on a car in central Yemen. A witness said, “One of the strikes missed the target, and the other hit the car and left the bodies of the three people in it completely charred.” It is not clear who carried out the drone strike or who ordered it, but President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi said in September that he personally approves every drone strike. Meanwhile, a bomb destroyed a house in the province of al-Bayda on Saturday night, killing 10 suspected al Qaeda operatives. Officials said the house had been used for making bombs.
